Today's powervalve thread - loose bolt screws race
OK, so does anybody use thread locker on bolt #33 ?
http://www.gasgasrider.org/pv_disassembly_mattr.pdf Seemed like a bad place for loctite, until I found mine had fallen out. You can see how this would feel like a catastrophic failure, especially when accompanied by a nasty lean rev. Do you think a deranged PV might have caused the lean rev I attributed to hitting reserve? Coincidence? Chicken or the egg? I believe elsewhere the resulting symptom was described as a big ass flat spot. Thread locker? Torque spec? Other ideas? And while I'm asking... am I able to tell if my governor's balls are dislodged from above? Or do I have to go full frontal? Preload seems pretty good as long as it's not excessive. Thanks, Dean

I'm dreaming of a PV cover modification that would block the offending bolt from coming loose. Or maybe a nylon plug of the correct length that could rest in the end of the bolt...
